Here are the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro – TechCrunch

Today, Apple has unveiled a new set of phones, including the iPhone 11, the iPhone 11 Pro, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max. These new devices are powered by a new chip, sport new cameras and are available in a variety of finishes and sizes.

So without any further ado, let’s get into some of the details.

Design

The iPhone 11 sports an anondized aluminum and glass design, which Apple claims is the toughest ever smartphone glass. Surprisingly, it comes in a handful of colors: white, green, yellow, purple, black and red. This next-gen iPhone also has a 6.1-inch liquid Retina display, with the expected tap-to-wake functionality and haptic feedback.

Camera

Apple clearly put a lot of energy into the iPhone 11 camera, which has a dual-camera set up: one 12mp wide lens, 26mm f/1.8 and an ultra wide 12mp f/2.4 sensor. The wide-angle dual-camera set up actually lets users snap a pic and zoom out to see what’s beyond the frame, which should be helpful for those expansive landscape shots.

On the software side, Apple has introduced a new image pipeline that does over a trillion operations for every photo. The company has added ‘semantic rendering’, which adjusts the lighting on photos retroactively based on the subjects. This helps to isolate and enhance facial features so tone mapping can be applied more accurately in portraits. Plus, portrait mode effects can now be applied to subjects other than humans, like pets.

iPhone 11 also features a new Night Mode to compete with the likes of Samsung and Google, which uses image fusion and adaptive bracketing — shorter and longer exposures — melded together to reduce motion and blur make for better low light images.

Video

On the video end, iPhone 11 shoots 4K video at 60fps, complete with Slo-mo, time-lapse, cinematic video stabilization, and extended dynamic range up to 4K across both cameras. The UI for video has some slight changes, including a new Instagram-style tap-and-hold to record video.

On the front-facing camera, Apple decided to go big with a wider angle sensor and the ability to capture 4K video at 30/60fps and the ability to shoot slo-mo.

Specs

As is usual with a new generation of iPhone, the iPhone 11 is powered by a brand new processor, the A13 Bionic chip. Apple says it’s the fastest GPU and CPU ever in a smartphone. Where battery life is concerned, Apple declined to share the actual mAh but did say that it has 1 hour longer battery life than the iPhone XR.

Pricing and Availability

The iPhone 11 will start at $699.

Design

The 11 Pro and Pro Max sport a three-camera system and a design featuring surgical grade stainless steel with a single sheet of matte glass on the back. It comes in midnight green, space grey, silver/white, and gold.

Display

The Pro comes with a 5.8-inch display, while the Pro Max comes with a 6.5-inch display. And speaking of displays, the Pro and Pro Max have a Super Retina display with a new OLED panel with 2M:1 contrast, 1200 nits and True Tone technology. They’re calling it the Super Retina XDR display.

Specs

Alongside the iPhone 11, the Pro and Pro Max will run on the A13 Bionic chip.

Battery life on the iPhone 11 Pro lasts four hours longer than the iPhone Xs, while the 11 Pro Max offers five hours more than the iPhone XS Max. Both phones will get 18W fast charging capabilities.

Camera

But the real show-stopper on the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max is the camera system.

The iPhone Pro has three 12-megapixel cameras, covering the standard wide-angle view at 26mm equivalent, a 52mm telephoto lens, and a new ultra-wide 13mm that gives you a broader view, with 120-degree field of vision.

The camera system also has a new feature called Deep Fusion. Here’s how it works:

Deep Fusion shoots 9 images, pre-shooting four long- and four short-exposure images into a buffer. Then when you press the shutter button it takes a longer exposure. Then the neural engine and ISP combine these on a pixel-by pixel-basis into your image, harnessing the power of the A13 Bionic chip.

Apple says the cameras are paired right at the factory for calibration, color, etc. Other cameras are primed while you shoot video on the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max so you can swap between lenses without fluctuations in exposure, focus or color temperature.

Pricing and Availability

The iPhone 11 Pro will start at $999 and the iPhone 11 Pro Max will start at $1099, with sales starting on Friday at 5am PDT. Units will start shipping September 20.
